Colorado working remote and <$260k housing... I would head to the medium sized towns on western slope or southern CO near NM. $260k is not gonna be ez to find apart from very rural CO.

Do be advised of the HC costs in CO! (If you need to buy on HC exchange)

There are several other mtn states to consider.

Make a weighted spreadsheet and run the numbers.

Working from home...??

Why, oh Why... would you not go a few minutes NORTH of Colorado?

Welcome to Wonderful "Income tax free" WY! As are somewhat nearby SD, NV, WA (AK is income AND sales tax free and has good school funding). WA has FREE FT college instead of HS. (since 1991). Eastern WA is arid and has FIBER ... very Cheap fiber and power.

WY has Great schools with superb funding (excellent EDU infrastructure + state scholarships) and VERY inexpensive College!!! $6k / yr (an excellent one at that! Eng and EDU and AG is top notch)

There are some really nice communities in WY (a few). Some quite close to CO, others near UT (for EZ access to SLC and great snow!)

Thanks a lot StealthRabbit! I appreciate this as Wyoming is a new option to me, I didn't consider it.

What cities should I consider in Wyoming? Laramie? Cherokee?

The reason I'm moving is because I'm not doing well with Cedar / Oak / Mold allergies in Austin, I saw that Colorado doesn't have Cedar pollen in the winter, and after experiencing cedar fever I think that Oak is not the biggest concern anymore.

I'm from a part in Mexico where altitude and dryness is almost the same than Colorado, so I'm used to it and I can bear it better than humidity and mold, I'm a little concerned about cold, but dryness also help feel less cold, ...

The problem I'm finding now is that I'm not sure if Cedar is an issue in Colorado at any other moment during the year... is it?

...
Thanks for your help and comments.

Due to your health concerns (and being a Hill Country resident myself)..
1) get some allergy tests BEFORE you up and move.

Pollen could be an irritant to you, and many areas / sources could be just as miserable as Austin (which is terrible for friends and neighbors I know... Cedar pollen clouds that cast a hue in the air for many weeks)

You could be sensitive to conifer (which may make the forested areas of Colorado (anywhere with evergreen forests) miserable for you)
